The init params are available as properties of ResourceConfig. So you
can inject that:
@Context ResourceConfig rc;
Or you can inject the ServletConfig:
@Context ServletConfig sc;
to get direct access to those parameters. The nice thing about using
ResourceConfig is that it abstracts from Servlet or Filter deployment.
Another approach could be to have properties in a java properties file
and implement an injectable provider that injects an instance of
java.util.Properties, for example:
@PropertiesRef("WEB-INF/mail") Properties p;
or another approach is to do something similar using JavaBeans with
XML decoding/encoding, or extracting values from init-params based on
the bean name.
Let me know if you want more details on this,
